Title of biome: Wetlands

Introduction: Studying wetlands is important because the wetland is home to many living and different organisms. The wetlands support organisms that we have not discovered yet.

Definition: A low-lying area of land that is saturated with moisture, especially when regarded as the natural habitat of wildlife. Marshes, swamps, and bogs are examples of wetlands.
